JOYCE: Well, there are some things I'd be happy to see you share. Like the slaying. I mean, two of you fighting is safer than one, right? BUFFY: I guess. JOYCE: Unless, I mean, you heard her. She loves the slaying. Couldn't she take over for you? BUFFY: Mom, no one can take over for me. JOYCE: But you're going to college next year. I think it would be... BUFFY: Mom, the only way you get a new Slayer is when the old Slayer dies. JOYCE: Then that means you... When did you die? You never told me you died! BUFFY: It was just for a few minutes.

‘My dream was his dream’: Canucks’ Brock Boeser turns focus to hockey after a year of pain and loss

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Even in those final days in hospice care, when Duke Boeser couldn’t eat, couldn’t walk, couldn’t talk, could barely breathe and was in so much pain he took a swing at his son when he tried to help sit him up, Brock Boeser figured this would be the latest adversity his strong, courageous father would overcome.

After all, since Brock was 13, anything and everything was launched in his dad’s direction, and Duke always, always, always triumphed in the end.

In 2010, Duke was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. In 2012, his car was T-boned when another car ran a red light a half mile from his Burnsville, Minn., home. Duke’s seatbelt snapped, and he was thrown into the passenger-side door, suffering a traumatic brain injury, several broken bones and a lacerated spleen. In 2017, Duke was diagnosed with lung cancer, something he’d beat before cancer returned and he’d have to fight some more. In 2019, Duke had a pulmonary embolism that caused his heart to stop and turned him blue.

Yet, after 15 minutes of chest compressions, Duke was brought back to life. They’d lose Duke’s pulse again in the ICU, but once more he was revived. He ended up hospitalized for months, spending parts of it with a feeding tube directly into his stomach and a breathing tube directly into his windpipe.

“I remember when he got cancer for the second time, I was with him in the car,” Brock Boeser, 25, says as he sips his iced coffee and plays with a yellow band around his right wrist that reads “Never Stop Fighting” on one side and “Dukey Strong” on the other. “He cried and said, ‘Why does this keep happening to me?’ He could never catch a break. That’s something that’s hard not to think about. Why did he have to go through so much? No one knows, and that’s in God’s hands.”

Yet, after that second cancer diagnosis, after being deemed clinically dead after that blood clot traveled to his heart, Duke always lived on.

For three more seasons Duke got to watch his son score goals for the Vancouver Canucks, so Brock wondered why this time, as dementia and Parkinson’s overtook his dad’s mind and body, would be any different.

That was until Thursday, May 26, the day before his dad died at the age of 61.

Brock was alone in his parents’ bedroom with his dad. Duke was sleeping, his breathing strained.

Brock put on some music. Tim McGraw’s “My Old Friend” came out of the speakers. It was a song he always listened to with his dad while growing up.

Brock turned up the volume, then sat on the chair next to his dad’s bed.

My old friend, this song’s for you ‘Cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do To tell the world that you were here ‘Cause the love and the laughter Will live on long after All of the sadness and the tears We’ll meet again My old friend … goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye

“My dad squeezed my hand and kind of smirked at me,” Brock says. “He just kept squeezing my hand as the song played.”

“Yeah,” he continues, his voice shaking, “he knew it was time to go. You wanted to just stop time because I knew that he knew it was time to say goodbye.

“During the tough days and nights over the last few months, my dad squeezing my hand is something special I keep thinking about.”

The next morning, when Brock’s mom, Laurie, went into the bedroom to change the clothes of her husband of just shy of 28 years, she heard his final breath.

Brock woke up the morning of May 27 to his mom’s call that his father had passed away.

“I went over there right away,” Brock says. “I know a lot of people get this feeling when they see people go through so much pain and suffering and then they die and they look so at peace, but while I was sad, I had the weirdest feeling through my body.

“I looked at my dad, and he’s finally not in pain anymore.”

Brock and Duke Boeser were kindred spirits.

Brock is living his dream, “and my dream was his dream,” Brock says.

Plus, they looked alike and acted alike.

“That even-keel temperament, it takes a lot to get them mad,” Laurie says. “Just the kindness, the fun-loving-ness. I’m more high-strung and moody, and Duke’s just a nice guy. That’s what I always called Duke: just a really nice guy.

“And with Brock, there was so much for Duke to be in awe of and proud of. Brock and him, they definitely admired one another.”

For as long as Brock can remember, his dad, a former Burnsville High hockey player like himself, was always in the stands.

“He was my biggest fan, for sure,” Brock says. “Always grew up watching hockey together. I’d sit on his lap watching Wild games. He was always amazed at some of the stuff I could do; it was pretty funny. He was a laid-back hockey dad. He watched all my high school games from the glass. Never really said anything other than to shoot top right corner or just to shoot more. He never got mad at me … ever.”

At squirt, peewee, midget and bantam tournaments, there was Duke. At high school and junior games, there was Duke. When Brock won the national championship with the University of North Dakota in 2016, Duke was there in Tampa, Fla., watching alongside his wife. When Brock made his NHL debut for the Canucks against his hometown Minnesota Wild and scored the game-winning goal, it came not long after then-coach Willie Desjardins gave Duke, with Laurie at his side helping out, the honor of announcing the starting lineup inside the Canucks’ locker room.

After announcing the Sedin twins at left wing and center, Duke said, “Starting at right wing, I can’t believe it … Brock Boeser.”

He then reminded his son that the number he was assigned, No. 6, was also the number he wore for three years in high school.

Duke was often behind the bench when his son played in the summer Da Beauty League in Edina, Minn., and of course, he was radiating with pride back in Tampa in 2018 when his son had an All-Star Weekend for the ages.

Brock won the accuracy shooting contest in the skills competition, then became the second rookie in NHL history and first since Mario Lemieux in 1985 to be named the All-Star Game MVP, scoring the winning goal for the Atlantic in the semifinal to beat the Central then slamming home another goal and an assist in the final.

For his efforts, Brock collected more than a half-million dollars in bonus money and a Honda hybrid he gave to his now-27-year-old sister, Jessica.

Duke used to always say, “This isn’t real. This isn’t real,” and he must have been feeling it in that moment.

“I’m living through Brock from afar,” he once said proudly, in large part because he was so self-deprecating about his own hockey prowess during his younger days. He’d often crack that he was the fastest skater on the ice before setting up the punchline: The problem was, “I couldn’t turn or stop.”

After Brock became an NHLer, his parents would stay up late and watch him from the comfort of their couch. Laurie would often send her son videos of Duke reacting joyously to his goals. Laurie is the worried, stressed-out parent during games and will text Brock afterward. Duke was always available for a phone call after a game — or anytime.

The 2021-22 season was a torturous one for Brock, though.

He’d FaceTime with his dad often and could see how fast he was deteriorating. His mom didn’t feel comfortable leaving Duke’s side, so she never visited Vancouver. When Brock returned to Minnesota over the league’s winter holiday break, his dad was really struggling to walk. When he returned for the Olympic break, it was much worse.

“He was out of it a lot more. The dementia just took over,” Brock says. “My mom tried to put him in (an assisted care facility) after I left, but he fell and hit his head, so we brought him back home. He just slowly started going downhill to the point where he couldn’t really walk and talk. It wasn’t easy.”

All the while, Brock tried to keep his focus on hockey. But he admits he was completely distracted almost 2,000 miles away.

“It was pretty cruel to watch from afar,” Brock says. “I don’t think anyone really understands unless you’ve been through it how hard it is to go through during a season, especially when you leave and he is fine and you come home and he is a little worse and then you come home and he can barely walk. And then you’re worried that your mom’s taking care of him the whole time. My brother (Paul’s) here (in Minnesota) and my sister is there, but it’s pretty hard when my mom’s the main caregiver and he’s in pain and she has to get him in and out of bed and all that stuff.

“I was mentally tired at certain points during the season because I was so stressed out. It was hard for me to have that passion each and every night.”

Adds Laurie, “It was so hard on him. You’re living your life, you’re doing your job, but what was going on here weighs on you every single day. I’m sure he felt like he should be home, he should be helping — just the things you do when you care about a loved one. And Brock’s nature is to be helpful.”

The last game Duke got to watch his son play in person came March 24. Brock assisted on a first-period goal by Bo Horvat in an eventual overtime loss to the Wild. But the game was hard for Duke, who sat in a wheelchair inside a suite. So when the Canucks returned to Minnesota a month later, Laurie decided not to bring Duke to the game.

But Brock’s agent, Ben Hankinson, arranged for the Boesers to come to the morning skate.

Toward the end of the skate, Brock, wearing a green practice jersey, tried to get his dad’s attention by flipping pucks to him. Duke didn’t react, and as Brock stood on the ice staring longingly up into the stands, the reality of the situation struck him.

It was a gripping scene to watch because it was obvious exactly what was going through Brock’s head.

“He knew it was the last time his dad would see him on the ice,” Laurie says. “He said, ‘Mom, you have to bring him to the game because I know it’s the last time.’ I said, ‘We just can’t. It’s not fair to Dad.’ The game the month before was too much for him. Too much noise. It just was too chaotic.”

After the morning skate, Laurie brought her husband down to the locker room to meet coach Bruce Boudreau. Laurie says from Day 1 of Boudreau taking over as Canucks coach that winter, he’d told her son, “Whatever you need, just tell us. If you need a day off, if you need to go to Minnesota for a few days, just tell us.”

In fact, the month before, the Canucks let Brock stay in Minnesota an extra day so he could spend time with his dad before flying commercially to meet up with the team in Dallas.

After meeting Boudreau, Duke reunited with some of his son’s teammates who knew him well, like Elias Pettersson.

“Petey didn’t really know how bad it was,” Brock says. “Petey saw him after the morning skate, and it hit him pretty hard. He loved my dad.”

Brock pauses, then stares down at the table in front of him.

“Yeah, I just don’t get it,” Brock says. “It’s unfair. He had been through so much. He went through hell. He was thrown everything at him that a person could be thrown. There’s so many stories of people getting cancer, but there’s not too many stories of a guy getting Parkinson’s, then getting in a terrible car accident, then getting cancer, beating cancer, getting cancer again and then a heart embolism, then getting dementia from his Parkinson’s.

“Yet he trucked along for so many years. Never complained. Every time we thought he was done, he’d come back. We just wanted more time with him, and I’m thankful we got a couple extra years.”

Brock returned to Minnesota in early May and got to spend Duke’s final few weeks with him.

“It’s almost like he waited for me to get home,” he says.

If you know anything about Brock’s career, it feels like he’s always had something weighing over his head. There were the years of watching his dad’s health problems, something that began 12 years ago, the same year Duke’s parents — Brock’s grandparents — died nine months apart. And there’s the guilt he still carries for not being in Minnesota when four of his closest friends were in a devastating SUV accident in August 2014 after a day of cliff diving.

Brock was in Slovakia captaining the U.S. under-18 team at the Ivan Hlinka tournament when he got word his friends Matthew Berger, Tylan Procko, Ty Alyea and Cole Borchardt were in the rollover crash that ejected Alyea and Borchardt.

Alyea, Brock’s old baseball teammate, would die. Borchardt, Brock’s old high school hockey linemate, was severely injured and has permanent health problems stemming from the accident.

Brock still regrets not attending Alyea’s funeral.

“I didn’t watch the funeral. They videotaped it. But I couldn’t watch for four or five years,” he says. “Finally, two years ago, I watched it for the first time and it brought everything back. I still wish I came back and was with my friends. Rather than being away … I should have come home.”

Borchardt, Procko and Berger remain three of Brock’s best friends. Borchardt, who now lives in Michigan, is walking much better and recently came to Brock’s home in Prior Lake, Minn., to play some croquet and volleyball.

Brock still writes his friends’ initials and numbers on his sticks to keep them close during hockey season.

“They’re my best buddies,” he says.

And he plans to do something to honor his dad this season, too.

But Brock is hoping to go into this season finally with a clear mind. He has been working with a life coach to help him deal with the loss of his father and his friends’ accident, which is something he says he “never really dealt with.”

“I’m really excited to be able to be straightforward, clear-minded, for each and every game, because last year was hard,” Brock says. “I’m really going to try to focus on the game at hand and help our team win and me producing. I scored 23 goals last year in a pretty distracted, down year. So I’m really happy and excited to get back and show what I can do.”

That’s what Boudreau anticipates for a player who has scored 121 goals and 256 points in 324 career games, saying, “There’s been a lot going on in that young man’s life. I can’t wait to see him this year. … Hopefully he’s ready to go and in great shape, and I think he wants to prove to the world that he is a lot better hockey player than maybe people gave him credit for last year.”

Last week, Brock took his mom to a Michael Buble concert at Xcel Energy Center and got backstage with the Canucks superfan. After the show, Brock took off for the long drive to Vancouver along with his two dogs, Coolie and Milo. He arrived this past weekend.

Laurie is in the process of selling her home and plans to move into Brock’s home with Jessica and their two dogs. In the spring, she plans to buy a townhouse and really begin life without Duke at her side.

“There are good days and bad days,” Laurie says. “I feel like Duke had a fulfilled life in many aspects. He got to experience a lot of wonderful things, but I still feel like there was a lot of life for him to have lived. It’s just accepting that’s how it is now. He’s in a better place, I hope, and we all need to continue the journey without him.

“For all of us, it’s just about making the adjustment to life without him around on Earth. But I know his spirit lives on.”

Laurie plans to travel a lot to Vancouver this season to spend time with her son. It still eats her up that during Brock’s struggles last season, both on the ice and emotionally, she couldn’t visit to help him to “just be a parent.”

He hardly blames her. In fact, he’s awed by his mom’s strength after years of caring for his dad.

“I think God gives his toughest battles to the toughest soldiers,” Brock says. “I don’t know how she did it for so long. But it just shows you her love for my dad and how much she cared for him.”

Laurie can’t wait to watch her son play hockey this season, knowing Duke will be watching over the pride of his life.

“I’m happy that Brock has the opportunity to go on with memories of his dad, knowing he’s watching from above, and he can just go play without anything on his back,” Laurie says. “No burden, not a heaviness. Just go play his game.”

Drarry medieval AU, featuring silly Draco and powerful Harry

Part 2 (Previous: 1)

Malfoy faced Potter on a fine day, all sun and no gale, just the right amount of crisp in the air. The ladies at court streamed into the arena in droves, coloring the benches with red velvets and green silks. A few readied themselves to fall into dead swoon, only to be reprimanded by Lady Parkinson.

"How droll. Draco will win, of course. This country boy is no match for his prowess," she declared breezily, staring down her pug nose at the contestants.

But the intelligent Lady Granger murmured a quiet dissent. "I wouldn't be so sure."

That said, Malfoy did appear to have the advantage. Sitting tall and straight atop his expensive destrier, his hair a golden halo around his fair, ivory face, 15-year-old Draco Malfoy looked the very image of a regal aristocrat in the first blush of youth. He surveyed the field with a confident smirk, his stormy grey eyes lit with arrogance.

Potter, on the other hand, was more weatherbeaten, that could not be denied. Sir Lupin had found him in a border town, living among peasants. And yet, that somehow did not seem to detract from his charm. There was an enticing wildness about him hitherto unseen at court--from the tumbling mess of his black curls, to the laser focus of his gem-like eyes, to the coiled wiry, muscles beneath his second rate armor. Sitting atop a common stable horse, he was nonetheless regal in his own way, with the frenetic air of an untamed beast.

Standing to one side of Malfoy, Zabini asked, "You ready?"

"Am I ready? Pff." Draco sneered in the direction of Potter. "I'm sure he's never jousted before, just look at his hold on the lance. I'll destroy him."

Nott, on his other side, smiled enigmatically and said nothing.

The contestants put on their helmets and raised their lances, Zabini and Nott stepped away, the crowds began chanting Mal-foy Mal-foy. . . And they charged! Aha! Malfoy's destrier ran with power and speed; Malfoy himself held his lance with elegance and skill! Malfoy was the very spirit and vision of grace, he will kill Potter in a moment (Lady Lavender Brown fell into a dead swoon). And--

Oh goodness! But Draco Malfoy was knocked clean off his horse! Victory to Potter!

The arena experienced one second of hushed silence, then erupted into wild, defeaning cheers. Pot-ter! Pot-ter! (Lady Parkinson swooned.)

Draco sat on his bum, dazed and confused. What just happened? Could it be that . . . he had lost? To Potter? He removed his helmet slowly, eyes wide with disbelief.

His opponent trotted over just then and dismounted. Potter reached out a hand and said, "Didn't mean to knock you off. You're not badly hurt, are you?"

Draco stared at him a moment before harshly swatting the offensive hand away.

"I won't forget this, Potter! I won't!" he cried, hopping up with a grunt of pain. "Just you wait!" And with that, he stormed off in a huff to his group of friends and admirers (dramatic effect somewhat curtailed, though, by the way he hobbled).

Harry Potter remained in place, staring after Malfoy with cold green eyes and an air of bemused exasperation.

Welcome

Or perhaps you know me from the 14 year old that has beef with me from when I was 15, Idk what it's about but they want me to die over it so anyone willing to clarify is welcome to(also I had to block them despite being on their dni). Or even better yet you know me from the person who accused me of stalking and abusing my ex, which is hilarious because I'm still on good terms with them. Most recently though, it is likely to be the Mutual Death Battle I hosted not too long ago (related semi-ongoing arg my pov can be found @goldengildedgod)

On to more important things! I'm mentally ill and physically disabled. Chronic Pain, Chronic Migraines with Aura, Seizures caused by aforementioned Migraines, Parkinson's, DID, ADHD, Autism, NPD with BPD and ASPD traits.

I stream every so often, and I write mostly poetry. Though I also write stories occasionally. I do draw a bit as well though very little is digital. If you're looking for my streaming content check @sleepygalactic and related accounts, and if you're looking for my writing check @midnightscriptures. No art blog as I really don't post my art.

If you're looking for any of my various fandom blogs check @teaparty-in-ruan, @mcyt-hell, and @just-a-fucked-up-lil-guy.

I run a discourse blog, but you'll have to dm me for that if you want to know what it is.

If you want to find me on my other socials I'm @sleepystarryskies on Bluesky! And from there you can ask about my others

I don't have a dni so much as, I Don't Give A Fuck Stop Bothering Me.(this goes triple for syscourse, stop fucking bothering me I used to be anti endo like a year ago now i have more important shit going on and you couldn't pay me to care) If you don't pass the vibe check you get blocked if you do pass the vibe check there's a good chance I'll follow you back.

Run a blog for gender and sexuality things, mostly collecting, @sleepy-genders. And a blog for yearning & such, that hasn't been touched in a year, @inkstained-tearyeyed.

Yet case reports are not hard to find. According to a 2010 article in the journal Sleep, a grandfather who was prescribed the dopamine agonist ropinirole for restless legs syndrome gained 200 pounds from binge eating and had his home raided by the police for illegal sexual activity on the Internet. In 2011, neurologists in Buenos Aires reported a Parkinson’s patient taking pramipexole who “was found by one of his sons attempting to have sexual intercourse with a female family dog.” In 2016, a 54-year-old Oregon man taking a dopamine agonist for Parkinson’s was sentenced to prison for exposing himself to 15 women in three different cities while wearing a wig. Once off the drug, many patients are so ashamed of their behavior that they are desperate to keep it secret. As Hannah put it, “You’re a professor, and you’re middle-aged, and you have esteem, and you’re walking around in a prostitute’s outfit with the word bitch across your chest. You might as well put me on a leash and walk me like a dog. It’s total degradation.”

Me: I won’t try to problem solve for my 27 year old sister who is stuck at her grandma/my stepgrandma’s condo and enduring the incredibly tense atmosphere caused by grandma’s Parkinson’s-fueled anxiety and unpleasantness. That sounds bad but she’s an adult and has a rental car so I’m sure she can figure something out.

Me half an hour later: [has googled “yoga Naples Florida” and has found a perfect place 15 mins from condo that has a yin class in an couple hours, sends sister screenshots and strong encouragement to attend class]

#it’s a very strong reflex #if everyone would just listen to me they’d be doing great

A Thousand Shades of Green

Part 3: Old Magic Series

This Half-Blood Prince AU is a frothy concoction composed of:

~ Two great big scoops of Drarry (recently coupled following an enemies-to-lovers transformation)

~ A spoonful of angsty Romione

~ A dash of Pansmione

~ An inconvenient phial of Lucissa

~ A pinch of Wolfstar

~ Generous portions of Accidental Bonding, Forced Proximity, Magical Theory, Portrait Magic, Angst, and Fluff

~ A healthy smattering of Smut

Rating: E

Word Count: ~97k, 15 chapters

Summary:

A deal with Dumbledore yields unexpected results. Harry and Draco remain at Grimmauld Place for the school year, but it’s not all fun and games. Their designated teacher is Snape, who seems determined to make Harry’s life miserable, and Portrait Magic is harder than expected. Can they keep their hands off each other long enough to complete their studies?

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, with her personal life up in flames, Hermione takes it upon herself to find out who has taken the Dark Mark in Draco’s place. But remaining objective proves challenging when rapidly becoming obsessed with Pansy Parkinson.

As the Dark Lord puts his plans into action, Narcissa worries for Draco’s safety. But she has her own problems to contend with.

there's a TLDR at the end of this post. also sorry if y'all just saw a mass text on your dash for a bit. i put a read more but it glitched. classic tunglr.

so on thursday this week (on 08/15) my family hosted a celebration of life for my grandpa--it would have been his 80th birthday. a lot of people showed up, family included, and it was a good time. we did what grandpa would have wanted and done best: drink, eat, and socialize. (my bio grandma said i was acting just like grandpa LMAO.)

there is some sad stuff, though. one of my great uncles (lets call him d), the baby of the family, is still very torn up over grandpa's death. (we are all, uncle h.) it's so sad bc while the family can be sentimental, i have never seen uncle r so...like that. i mean, we choked up together when we attended a mass for grandpa back on my birthday, but....yeah.

things get a little worse, though. i have two great aunts, and they're both older than grandpa and uncle r. the eldest didn't show up (which i'm kinda salty about ngl), but the younger one (aunt y)....so she and her husband (uncle e) live in florida. they flew up to come to the celebration of life. they're staying with uncle h and his wife and were going to carpool with them. however, aunt y and uncle e had to stay at the house because aunt y had a very bad fainting spell that morning. apparently she's having some health issues (she's 82 years old; it happens) and faints are one of them. however, it gets even worse you guys! she's also having signs of alzheimer's (specifically the memory issue) and she's taking experimental meds for that.

so, grandpa had alzheimer's / dementia / parkinson's and died with it (and i'm sure that contributed to the malnourishment, among other stuff). his older sister is showing signs of it from what great uncle e was telling my uncle. btw, apparently their dad had it too, and he died when he was 85 years old. aunt y is currently 82 years old...so great! not really feeling it you guys.

but christ, it gets worst.

apparently, some of the older relatives have asked my uncle and his wife if we know where some of their mom's things (my great grandma) and other family stuff is at. now, we knew where some things were at from the last time we went to That Place, but who fucking knows. i hope that bitch still has it but she needs to give the family their stuff back. i doubt she will---i really hope she didn't trash it, but if she didn't give the things my dad asked for (which was a bench and small metal toolbox he made for his dad when he went to school)....well, i hope she will give the older relatives that stuff. THAT SHIT IS NOT HERS AND IT BETTER FUCKING NOT GO TO HER DUMBASS FAMILY ONCE SHE CROAKS.

put this bitch in a fucking saw trap PLEASE.

tldr

i took bereavement leave this past week and spent time with family

i found out that one of my great aunts has a poor bill of health and is showing signs of alzheimer's, which is something her brother, their father, and their sister-in-law had. um. that's not good at all haha!

found out the bitch still has family heirlooms that she needs to return to grandpa's siblings. she probably won't do it because she's a fucking cunt.

i'm still torn up over grandpa and will probably never heal even after that cunt dies. like, of course you never get over a death but my family has been robbed of a proper, peaceful bereavement because grandpa married a narcissist.

#mads makes a text post #bereavement #i talk about a lot of stuff but i put a TLDR at the end of the post #i'm upset lol

tw health issues being old and poop

my grandma is fully bed ridden, she didn't want to go to a retirement home when it started being necessary yeaaaars ago and now she's too dependant to be accepted in one so she's stuck at home. she doesn't want a "stranger" in her house, my mom has done more than she should have ever done these past 15 years or so caring for her my grandpa and my uncle (he had parkinson she took care of him until he died it was awful). so rn my aunt accepted to help but only if she was being paid, so my grandma took her to be the state funded helper and she should do a certain amount of hours per week and come several times a day to help her wash and pee/poo but she doesn't. so my grandma sits in her dirty diapers all day. today my mom went there and my grandma had somehow gone off the bed a bit and pooped on the floor and on her slippers.... she cleaned it all + our grandma. my mom is disabled and is physically limited she shouldn't be doing this. it's so unfair that all of this still ends up on her when it shouldn't.

we saw the social worker the other day and she said that the amount of money allocated to my grandparents will increase when my grandpa comes back from the hospital bc he'll be bed ridden too now. the thing is that nurses refuse to take care of people for showers and diapers these days and companies don't do it on the weekends. she said well it looks like you won't get any help on the weekends and then looked at me and my mom. it's awful to know that once again we're gonna have to do this. i hate it. my mom probably won't let me do it anymore too. i hate it. my mom is ill she doesn't have a lot of years with a relatively ok health (meaning she can breath without an oxygen tank) and she'll have tk dedicate them to my grandparents when my aunt and uncle don't give a fuck???? also as i said before around here our neighbourhood is getting bulldozed over so my parents sold the house and will be moving, my grandparents are supposed to sell too bc the house is too big and impractical for them. the money they get could finance all the care they need and even a retirement home (if we find one that would accept them). it costs about 4 to 5k A MONTHS. the thing is my aunt and my uncle are already taking a lot of money from my grandparents, money that's supposed to be used for their funerals. my uncle was left by his wife bc he was a violent asshole that couldn't not spend every single euro he had (or didn't have tbh). he tells my grandma he's gonna kill himself every month so that she paya his rent while he stays at home and doesn't do anything to get unemployment money or a job. when they get the money from the house they're going to take everything from them. and if they don't have money anymore to take care of themselves guess who has to help? their children and grandchildren. exept my uncle and aunt aren't financially abled to so my parents' money would dissapear in it, my sister and i would have to pay too. we'd be financing my aunt and uncle's fucking lifestyle. i wouldn't care if it was bc my grandlarents actually needed it. i love them i will pay if needed. but not like this. we asked if we could put them in a state protection financial guardianship thing and the social worker said no bc they're still mentally sound. it angers me so much i left the room crying the other day lol.

isn't life fun lol
